Standing Lulua figure

Description

Long-necked Lulua figures are used for a range of spiritual practices and are associated with ancestral spirits. Coated with the reddish-brown pigment of the camwood tree (ngula). Provenance: Collected by Sophia and Roy Sieber. The ngula pigment used to color these statues also mirrored Lulua beauty techniques, as they applied a vibrant tone to their bodies with a mixture of red earth, oil, and kaolin. -Jakarandatribal.com 5 1/4"H
